Russian Engineers Develop System to Simulate Gravity in Space
A team of engineers from a Russian aerospace corporation under Roscosmos has patented a system designed to recreate artificial gravity conditions in orbit — a major step toward long-duration space missions.
The system is built around a central axis module featuring both static and rotating sections, connected via a sealed rotating joint. Four living modules branch out radially from the core, each equipped with its own life support and power systems.
When the station begins to spin, centrifugal force is generated, effectively mimicking gravitational pull. The design is capable of producing artificial gravity levels up to 0.5g — approximately half of Earth’s gravity.
The engineers emphasized system reliability: even if one of the sealed modules fails, the station can remain operational. This innovation is expected to play a key role in building long-term orbital habitats and preparing for future missions to the Moon and Mars.
